Feb. 5 Application Log

This week’s lesson on filming techniques, specifically on the importance of mixing up wide, tight and medium shots in videos especially resonated with me. While wasting time on YouTube as I tend to do I was surprised to notice it in many videos that I remembered as being relatively simple. I was especially shocked to notice it in the James Corden Car Karaoke with Adele. I had watched it once before the discussion and remembered the video being very simple, light-hearted and fun. However, when I reviewed it after the discussion in class I was surprised by how many cuts there were in the video. I believe that those cuts definitely contributed to the professional quality and over fun feel of the video. It was super cool to have such a big realization of applicable class content.
